About this ebook

From the international bestselling author of The Four Agreements

In The Mastery of Love, don Miguel Ruiz illuminates the fear-based beliefs and assumptions that undermine love and lead to suffering and drama in our relationships. Using insightful stories to bring his message to life, Ruiz shows us how to heal our emotional wounds, recover the freedom and joy that are our birthright, and restore the spirit of playfulness that is vital to loving relationships.

The Mastery of Love includes:

• Why “domestication” and the “image of perfection” lead to self-rejection

• The war of control that slowly destroys most relationships

• Why we hunt for love in others, and how to capture the love inside us

• How to finally accept and forgive ourselves and others

“Happiness can only come from inside of you and is the result of your love. When you are aware that no one else can make you happy, and that happiness is the result of your love, this becomes the greatest mastery of the Toltec: the Mastery of Love.” — don Miguel Ruiz

Ratings and reviews

I'm definitely buying this whole book. after just reading a small amount of it, I get a really big grasp as to why we would argue like we do. she has a lot of emotional poison from seeing that for so long from her parents and the rest of her family, I I have a lot of emotional poison and scarring from being around my family. now that I've read that much of it I'm definitely going to read the whole thing. after I finish reading it, I'm going to give it to her to read the whole book. if we are even starting to communicate more by that time.. when I'm upset and nervous I make the dumbest jokes. Im really just figuring how to express my emotions. my family wouldn't allow that. if it weren't for my wife and her. mother, I probably never would have learned as much as I have both of those women are amazing and I'm so grateful that they helped me get to where I right now. I just wish I would have learned more. if I could have learned to express myself more freely,maybe I would still be with her.

My mind was blown by the statement, "You are complete." I cried so hard with the realization that I am perfect the way I am. This opened the floodgates of self-love and acceptance. It also helped me in understanding how to love and forgive others. Thank you ❤️

Even though many adults I'm sure consider this book a great read. This is the kind of book I wish, would have been a requirement to be read in elementary school. Many topics could be debated, different viewpoints and opinions shared. Experience from kids own life both good & bad could be incredibly useful in teaching one another's classmates. And spill over into other areas of their lives.
